Investigating the role of mitochondrial Tom40 in regulated cell death and neurodegeneration. [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2023 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Mitochondria are internal compartments of cells, separated by bounding membranes. They are crucial to the life and death of cells, and to quality of human life and ageing. Diseases of the nervous system can be caused when mitochondria do not function properly. Our aim is to discover why a protein complex called TOM embedded in the bounding membrane is linked to dementia in some people. This will also lead to a better general understanding of the connection between mitochondria and human health.
